Early Intervention Systems: Catching Patterns Before Harm Escalates
Early Intervention Systems: Catching Patterns Before Harm Escalates
Early intervention systems (EIS) aim to identify police officers whose behaviour patterns suggest problems before serious misconduct occurs. By tracking indicators like use of force incidents, citizen complaints, and vehicle pursuits, these systems can flag officers who may need support, training, or closer supervision. When effective, early intervention can prevent the escalation that leads to serious harm. Yet many departments' systems fail to fulfill this promise.
